I've been wondering around the swamp where you first find yourself in the Swamp level in Mots for about two weeks now. Don't know how to get thru the "forcefield". I've tried force-pulling (nothing to pull), force-seeing (nothing to see). I've flown thru the entire level and even looked at the map - no help. The walkthrough says I'll fall into a sinkhole and come back up to the surface. I've walked around the entire area for God know hows long playing a bit here and there for two weeks and have not fallen into anything.

This has started to become "not fun". If anyone can throw me a pointer I'd greatly appreciate it - as I don't often get the time to play I've wasted way too much already on this.

You're reading the wrong spot in the walkthrough; that comes later in the level. Don't sweat it though, that's a very popular place to get stuck. It's actually a ridiculously easy puzzle once you know how.

You were on the right track with Force Seeing; but you should be more worried about being seen.

Right on the other side of the forcefield is a sentinel (that statue thing). Check it out with Force Seeing. Notice how the eyes are glowing?

Just find some way to prevent the sentinel from seeing you, and remember, this puzzle was designed to let only Force-users past.

Weird but it turned out that I needed to have two specific force powers - neither one worked alone. I had to go back to the ending of the previous level and assign my "force stars" differently to get the right force powers. I barely use "force" at all in MotS but I know that later on it will be necessary. Come to think of it I barely use force in JK2. Thanks for the help.

Actually, just one Force ability is enough to complete that puzzle, and if you don't have any points in it by the start of Dromund Kaas level then one point will be placed there automatically...
